Book Description
More people are extending their working lives through necessity or choice in the context of increasingly precarious labour markets and neoliberalism. This book goes beyond the aggregated statistics to explore the lived experiences of older people attempting to make job transitions. Drawing on the voices of older workers in a diverse range of European countries, leading scholars explore job redeployment and job mobility, temporary employment, unemployment, employment beyond pension age and transitions into retirement. This book makes a major contribution and will be essential reading within a range of disciplines, including social gerontology, management, sociology and social policy.

Book Description
The experience of an abrupt and often premature departure from work can leave individuals feeling disoriented and can prevent their valuable economic potential from being tapped. This report, published in association with the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, explores the possibilities of more flexible forms of work that bridge the gap between a steady career job and retirement. It examines such jobs in the wider context of the types of transition that are being made by people retiring early and makes recommendations for future retirement policy in the UK.

Book Description
Persons with disabilities separate from employment positions for a variety of different reasons. The conditions and reasons for these separations have been the subject of a number of investigations in an effort to understand and improve job tenure. Early studies tended to frame this research in terms of deficits and situations created by the employee that led to his or her being terminated. Later studies took a more balanced view of separations by including reasons beyond the employee's control (for example, transportation problems or moving) and positive reasons, such as promotions or finding a better job. None of these studies, however, framed their research with regard to theoretical contributions made from work done in career development, occupational choice, or work adjustment. The purpose of this investigation was to examine the career development of persons with disabilities that are revealed by patterns of job separations. These patterns were compared to what is known about career development for persons without disabilities in terms of Super's life-span, life-space model (Super, 1984, 1990). An earlier investigation indicated that age was a significant predictor of job separation (Luft & Rusch, 1994). Neither individual demographic characteristics (disability, ethnicity, and gender) nor job placement variables (job type, job placement, and previous work or training placement) were significant predictors in this analysis. The present investigation sought to examine this model when calculating age as a continuous variable and by including additional individual, employer, and agency variables. These variables were from an extant database of information collected over a five-year period on supported employees within a midwestern state. Results showed that age was a significant predictor of job separations in the last and most parsimonious regression model consisting of eight variables. Other significant predictors included categories of primary disability, year of entry into the supported employment program (1985-1990), number of hours worked per month, vocational aptitude, and the average job separation of supported employees within an agency. In general, results were not definitive and did not confirm that individuals with disabilities follow patterns of career development patterns that are similar to individuals without disabilities. However, trends for job separations across age groups, although not statistically significant, continue to suggest that some similarities in career patterns do exist and that separations become increasingly positive (i.e., "promotions") as workers get older (cf. Luft & Rusch, 1994). A number of historical conditions potentially impacted the strength of the results of this investigation: the newness of supported employment programs which resulted in the very recent entry of most of the sample into the community workforce regardless of their age, and the instability of the size of several disability groups which reflected changes in definitions of disabilities as well as changes in subsequent school and adult services. These conditions reemphasized the relative recency of many of the current services for persons with disabilities and consequently, modified this study into an exploratory investigation into career development patterns. A more definitive investigation and description of career development patterns may need to wait until the majority of persons with disabilities are consistent and regular working members of the community.

Book Description
This report provides a detailed overview of the various transitions affecting people in their 50s and beyond. It challenges calls for an upward revision of retirement ages, arguing that paid employment is neither a feasible nor an attractive option for an increasing proportion of women and men moving into their fifties and beyond. Transitions from work to retirement:·[vbTab]brings together diverse empirical and theoretical studies to assess changes in the life course;·[vbTab]includes a special analysis of the British Household Panel Survey to support its findings;·[vbTab]summarises important research from the US and Europe as well as the UK;·[vbTab]provides important recommendations on managing work and retirement for those involved in social and public policy.The report is aimed at all those involved in debates about the future of work and retirement. Transitions after 50 seriesPeople are living longer, yet increasingly are leaving working life well before the state retirement age. The Joseph Rowntree Fountain programme, Transitions after 50, explores people's experiences, decisions and constraints as they pass from active labour market participation in their middle years towards a new identity in later life. Reports in this series look in particular at issues about work, income and activities beyond work during this period of transition.For other titles in this series, please follow the series link from the main catalogue page.
